SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 230,756, dated August3, 1880.

Application filed March 29, 1880. l(No model.)

To all /whom it may concern Be it known that I, SETH K. DEVEREUX, ofCastille, in the county of Hancock and State of Maine, have invented anew and Improved Jewel-Stand, of which the following is a specifcatlon.

This invention consists of a round or oval jewel-stand, principally forladies use, having` a concave or hollowedout top and provided with fourdrawers of the peculiar shape below set forth.

Two opposite drawers have parallel, or nearly parallel, sides, and areconvex attheir inner ends; and the other two have sides which areparallel, or nearly so. for a portion ot' the distance back, ends atright angles to the parallel portions ofthe sides, and concave portionsin each side, the curves being' such as to allow the convex portions ofthe. lirst two drawers to tit into the concave portions of the last twodrawers. Thus the space in the central portion of the stand is utilized.

In the accompanying; drawings, in which ysimilar letters ot' referenceindicate like parts.

Figure l is an elevation of a jewel-stand embodying my improvements.Fig. 2 is a hori- Zonta] section on line x x, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is avertical section of the upper portion on line y y, Fig. 2.

a and a are the upper and lower pieces ot wood in the top ofthe stand,the former being provided with the concavity c for the accommodation ofcards, jewelry, 85e.

b shows theportions of the table separating` the outer portions of thedrawers.

c c are opposite drawers. The front-s of the drawers are straight orcoliform to the shape of the stand. The sides. e are parallel, or

nearly so. The backs c are curved, thus producing convex inner ends.

d cl are the other two opposite drawers. The fronts are similar to thosein the drawers c c. The portions d of the sides are parallel, or nearlyso. The rear ends, d, are straightand at right angles to the portionsdf, and at d" the sides are curved inwardly, making two concave portionsin each drawer d.

1t will be seen that the convex portions c in the drawers c exactly fitinto the concave portions df in the drawers d, each convex end illingtwo concave sides. The ends (1ot` the drawers meet, or nearly meet, andevery inch of space in the center ot' the interior of thetable isutilized.

The drawers are provided with padded linings e for the accommodation ot'the jewelry.`

The stand may be circular or oval, and may be ornamented in any desiredIn anner and made ot' any size.

Having thus fully described my improvement, I do not claim that nonrectangular drawers are novel, nor that drawers provided with no innerseparating-partitions are new; but

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The herein-described circularl or oval jewelstand, provided with the topa a and the two sets ot' drawers c c and d d, of the shapes shown, andarranged, as described, to allow the convex ends of the two drawers c cto t into the concave sides of the other two drawers, d d, for thepurpose set forth.
